Events calendar Vélo Pays Basque

It is every year since 2015, the meeting of the best professional surfers on the planet! The International Professional Surfing Competition (QS 3.000), female and male of the World Surf League. This event was born from the common will of the city of Anglet and the WSL to put the town and the Basque Coast at the heart of the professional surfing qualifying circuit. It is now one of the most important events of the European season. The best pros come to compete on the famous spots of the Atlantic Ocean.

Open-air screenings of the latest surf films in the Jardin de la Grotte de la Chambre d'Amour in the evening, and daytime screenings at Espace de l'Océan. Each evening features a new concert, a food truck village for nibbling before the film screenings, and a fireworks display on the closing night to celebrate the festival's 20th anniversary. During the event, the Sportjam Surf Test will also give you the chance to try out the latest surf, surfskate and beach bike equipment.

The commune of Anglet has managed to develop its urban area to encourage outdoor activities. Benefiting from almost daily sunshine and pleasant temperatures, the town has opened up to the practice of cycling. The seafront is bordered by a cycle path, called Boulevard des Plages, which is 4.5 km long. Starting from the esplanade Yves-Brunaud, it goes up along the eleven beaches of the city, up to the beach of La Barre. From there, you can join the Adour river and pedal towards Bayonne on another cycle path along the water. The Boulevard des Plages can also be reached on foot. A total of almost 18 km have been laid out today. It's up to you to choose which beach you want to stop at!

Price: free of charge.

Duration: 1 hour.

For its^2nd edition, the Biarritz festival aims above all to reveal the cinematic talents of tomorrow, and put the spotlight on the work of budding, emerging and established filmmakers. For 5 days, a jury of artists under the age of 35 will share with the public theatrical and open-air screenings, concerts, exhibitions and meetings with guests of honor. The festival may just be the place to discover the great filmmakers of tomorrow.

As a tribute to the tradition in the United States where the winner was given a small golden glove, the Biarritz Athétic Club created the now famous Gant d'Or de Cesta Punta some twenty years ago, which delights amateurs and neophytes alike. It is true that to see the world's professional elite fighting on the "Cancha" of the jaï alaï (large open trinquet) in pursuit of a ball that can exceed 300 km/h is breathtaking!

The public is invited, on this occasion, to come and take part in the workshops, put on their costumes, carve pumpkins, participate in the lighting of the public garden, and to come and party at the Garden Party. No age limit to dress up!

Here we go again for the 6th edition! A very friendly trail located in Barcus, a small village in the Pyrenean foothills, on the border of the Basque Country and Bearn.

Beautiful ascents and descents on the program. To close this beautiful sporting event, meet up for a drink and a talo (a cornmeal cake) at the end of the trail!

This event takes place in the heart of the typical Basque village of Ahetze, 15 minutes from Bidart and Guéthary.
